Honey Processing

 Today we tried our hand at honey harvesting! It was a bit of trial and error but in the end we came away with a bunch of beautiful jars of honey!!
Here are some pictures of what the inside of the hive looked like when we opened it up.  I have got to figure out how to avoid cross combing - if that is even possible with natural hives!  Also we learned that we need to buy a bee excluder board so that the bees won't be in the honey comb when we go to harvest it.
So much to learn - but lots of fun! And no one got stung!!
